Kicking Horse Country

Kicking Horse Resort is located 14 kilometres outside of Golden.

urrounded by spectacular scenery, the picturesque town of Golden sits at the tip of the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench at the confluence of the Kicking Horse and Columbia rivers. Conveniently located just three hours west of Calgary and 1.5 hours north of Radium Hot Springs, Golden is a year-round paradise in which to live, stay or play. The oldest town in the Columbia valley, Golden started out in the mid 1800s as a survey camp for Major A. B. Rogers, for whom Rogers Pass was named. In an attempt to outdo the nearby Silver City camp, Rogers named his site Golden City . In 1957, the site was incorporated as the Town of Golden. The Kicking Horse Pass and River were named for Palliser Expedition geologist, Sir James Hector, who suffered a near-fatal kick from a horse in 1858 while seeking a route through the mountains for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Tourism began in the late 1800s, when CPR hired Swiss mountain guides to allow Golden’s visitors the chance to stay and explore the incredible, untamed area. Today, the dramatic peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Purcells to the west attract hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, hang gliders and paragliders. The nearby rivers offer fly-fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. The Kicking Horse River was the first in Western

Canada to be recognized as a heritage river and offers world class whitewater rafting on Class I to 4 rapids. Add to that over 60 kilometres of maintained cross country bike trails at the Moonraker Trail System, a nationally acclaimed golf course, five nearby national parks and the renowned year-round Kicking Horse Mountain Resort just 15 kilometres away, and you have an ideal outdoor playground. In the summer months, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort offers a downhill mountain bike park and dining at one of the highest restaurants in Canada — the Eagle’s Eye Restaurant. It is also a very popular location for weddings with stunning views over the Canadian Rockies, Purcell and Selkirk Mountains, and the Columbia Valley. In the winter months, Golden is home to unrivalled heliskiing and cat skiing, as well as 240 km of groomed snowmobile trails in four maintained areas. For indoor kicks, the Dogtooth Climbing Gym is the only commercial indoor climbing gym in the valley and offers over 100 top rope climbing routes and a bouldering cave. Each summer, downtown Golden becomes alive with a weekly farmers’ market and Summer Kicks, a series of free concerts that takes place in the Spirit Square adjacent to the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge.

Golden offers unparalleled whitewater rafting opportunities .

The bridge, which spans the Kicking Horse River in downtown Golden, is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada. It was constructed in 2001 by over 1,000 members of the International Timberframers Guild who came from Europe, the U.S. and across Canada to build and raise it.

Another nearby landmark, Mount 7, was the launch site for the first distance hang gliding world record in 1986 and is a great view point from which to see the Columbia Wetlands and the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains. And a visit to Golden isn’t complete without a trip to the Northern Lights Wolf Wildlife Centre or the Grizzly Bear Refuge at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. A diverse selection of accommodation in both downtown Golden and at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort caters to all budgets, from cozy bed and breakfasts, to reasonably priced motels, hotels and seasonal rentals, to luxury vacation homes, to charming lodges and rustic log cabins located in the Blaeberry and Columbia valleys. Visitors can also enjoy many fine shops and eateries, ranging from quaint cafes to fivestar dining, and the lively arts and cultural scene.

Brisco & Spillimacheen The community of Spillimacheen is considered the gateway to the world-renowned Bugaboo Mountains.

risco and Spillimacheen are two of the northern-most communities in the valley, known for their idyllic country setting and quiet way of life. The earliest settlers were miners who arrived in the mid-to-late 1800s but their interests later shifted to agriculture, ranching and forestry. Today, the communities are even more diversified due to numerous cottage industries and sole proprietorships. With a population just shy of 70, Spillimacheen is located halfway between Golden and Invermere and supported by an economy largely based on farming and ranching. Also home to a number of artists and studios, it epitomizes the phrase “getting away from it all”. Services include a post office, a gas station, and the seasonal Spilli Cafe with terrific homemade meals, plus a number of home businesses including catering, bookkeeping and contractors. Spillimacheen is also home to the Friends of the Columbia Wetlands Society, which is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the Columbia River Wetlands, and the historic Spillimacheen Trading Post (est. 1912) just of Highway 95, which is now the home of Spillimacheen’s famous Beeland store. A small

apiary, Beeland produces a wide array of honeybee produces both locally and internationally, from exotic honeys and candles to soaps and flavored honey, and receives rave reviews from everyone who stops in. Located 13 kilometres south of Spillimacheen and 27 kilometres north of Edgewater, Brisco has a permanent population of about 170 and is the gateway to Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park and Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH)’s Bugaboo Lodge. Amenities include a general store (est. 1911), postal service, a gas station, a towing service, greenhouses, gardens, contractors, photography and easy access to the backcountry. Brisco also boasts a community hall and a riding arena. Because of their proximity to the Columbia River Wetlands and the abundant variety of bird species, these two small communities have hosted many events as part of the renowned Wings Over the Rockies Bird Festival. The surrounding area also provides easy access to canoeing and kayaking on the river, world class rock climbing in the Bugaboos and the Jubilee Mountain area, mountain biking off Westside and Giant Mine roads, and hiking on the Lower Bugaboo Falls and Salmon Falls trails. For winter enthusiasts, the options include ice skating and cross country skiing.

The village hub is the community hall, which is the venue for an array of events and performances throughout the year. The hamlet was originally surveyed in 1912 by Columbia Valley Orchards and the construction of the historic Edgewater flume that same year (a viaduct for transporting water) began to draw settlers who formed the first cohesive community.

There is a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities nearby. The Baptiste Lake Trail System offers 16 kilometres of cross country ski trails in gently rolling terrain. The village is also two hours from Bugaboos Provincial Park, a world renowned mountaineering destination that attracts climbers from around the world. During the summer months, Edgewater is a favoured pull-out location for people who canoe or kayak down from Invermere or Radium through the Columbia River wetlands. Embarking from Edgewater and travelling downriver to the bridge at Brisco is also popular. Other attractions include the Edgewater Hilltop Par 3 Golf Course, and the annual Steamboat Mountain Music Festival in July.

Radium Hot Springs

he charming alpine village of Radium Hot Springs is the first destination visitors encounter when they emerge from Kootenay National Park through the sheer cliff walls of Sinclair Canyon on Highway 93, just moments after passing the world-famous Radium Hot Springs. Nestled against the foothills of the majestic Rockies with the Purcell Mountains to the west, the village also has stunning views of the Columbia River Wetlands, the longest continuous wetlands in North America. The sweeping vistas of the wetlands, snowdusted mountains and winding river tributaries make for a spectacular setting. With its small-town charm, friendly people and numerous recreational and business opportunities, it’s easy to see why nearly 1,000 year-round residents and almost double that number of second-home owners choose Radium. After it was incorporated in 1990, the village became one of the fastest growing communities in the province. A part-time herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, the village’s unofficial mascot, also call Radium Hot Springs home. These majestic animals are beloved by visitors and locals alike, who have grown accustomed to their quiet presence as they amble through the downtown area during spring, autumn and winter.

Radium Hot Springs Pools

he famed Radium Hot Springs, located in Kootenay National Park just a short drive from Radium village, features Canada’s largest mineral springs pool and attracts guests from far and wide. Surrounded by sheer rock walls, these 100 per cent natural, odourless hot springs are both a marvel of nature and a soothing pastime. Prior to European contact, First Nations bathed in the pools, believing the water had healing power. By the late 1800s, the springs had become popular with the area’s first permanent settlers. An Englishman, Roland Stuart, purchased the springs for $160 in 1890 and by 1914, construction of the first concrete bathing pool, a log bathhouse, a small home, and a home for a caretaker had been completed. The modern Aquacourt seen today was completed in 1951 and upgraded in 1997 with a hot/cool plunge pool, gift shop and new reception area. In 2001 Radium Hot Springs celebrated the 50th anniversary of the historic building. Open daily in every season and kept between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius, the hot pools are perfect for family outings, and an ideal way to unwind after an activity-filled day.

Cheapflights.com selected the Radium Hot Springs as one of the Top 10 hot springs around the world in 2013.

For the ultimate in relaxation, experience a rejuvenating massage at the adjacent Pleaides Massage and Spa followed by a soak in the pools. Radium Hot Springs also offers a shallow lounging area perfect for young children, a 25-metre long cool pool complete with a diving board, and spacious change rooms and shower facilities. In the summer months, enjoy a cappuccino from the cafe while sunning yourself on the large patio, or explore the wilderness walking trail to the nearby Redstreak Campground.

Shuswap First Nation T

Photo © Kristian Rasmussen

he Kenpesq’t, or Kinbasket Shuswap First Nation, is a member of the Secwépemc (Shuswap) Nation, an interior Salish-speaking nomadic people who traditionally occupied a vast area in the south-central part of British Columbia. Anthropological and archaeological discoveries, particularly the evidence of “kekulis” (semi-underground pithouses), connect the early Shuswap culture and way-of-life to the Upper Columbia Valley, nowadays considered the Shuswap Indian Band’s traditional territory. The Kinbaskets traded and were allies with the Stony Tribe of Alberta, as well as their neighbours, the Akisqnuk (part of the Ktunaxa First Nation), resulting in mixed lineage and affiliations that continue to this day though the Kinbasket Shuswap officially withdrew from the Ktunaxa Nation Tribal Council in 2006 to re-join the Shuswap Nation. Chief Pierre Kinbasket and his twin brother Charlie, were some of the first permanent settlers of the Kinbasket Clan in the valley. They built pit houses and salmon caches along the Columbia River and at Brisco which are still visible today. The first recorded contact between Europeans and the Kinbasket people in the valley was around the David Thompson era by Rev. Modeste Demers and Rev. Norbert F. Blanchet, who offered mass to Kinbaskets in October 1873 at a boat encampment on the Columbia River. Since contact with the European explorers and settlers, the Shuswap way-of-life

has changed dramatically. Like many other First Nations, the Shuswap Indian Band’s traditional territory has become increasingly committed to tourism and recreation, as well as industrial and resource development, as the band is working towards economic independence and self-sustainability. The Kinbasket Development Corporation (KDC) is a wholly owned corporate extension of the Shuswap Indian Band. KDC operates as a regular company, independent from Band activities, with a duly appointed board of directors and a full-time manager. The KDC was created to promote the economic and social welfare of the Band by developing and supporting independent business on the reserve. Some of the most high profile businesses in the valley, including Home Hardware, Kicking Horse Coffee and Tim Hortons, operate on Shuswap Band land. The Shuswap Band Council, made up of a chief and two councillors elected every two years, is the administrative and governing body of the Shuswap Indian Band, which numbers approximately 250 members, with about 150 living on-reserve, 80 off-reserve and 20 on reserves elsewhere. The Kinbasket Shuswap Nation is also dedicated to reinvigorating its culture and traditions. Hunting remains an important social activity, traditional gatherings are open to the public, and the Shuswap Dance Troupe is asked to perform at different events around the valley. For more information, visit www. shuswapband.net.

Wilmer

Photo Valley Echo © Black Press

verlooking the breathtaking Columbia River Wetlands is the historic community of Wilmer. Located less than five minutes north of Invermere, this quaint village was originally named Peterborough and was the first community established in the heart of the Columbia Valley. Wilmer was founded in 1886 and is filled with many late-1800s buildings, including the beautiful Delphine Lodge, built in 1899. It was 1807 when famed explorer and mapmaker David Thompson founded a Northwest Trading Company post near the site of present-day Wilmer, naming it Kootenae House. This was the first trading post in the Columbia Valley and the base from which Thompson spent five years exploring and mapping the region. The spot is now a National Historic Site. Wilmer’s most famous resident, Conrad Kain, arrived from Austria in 1909 with the promise of employment as the Alpine Club of Canada’s first professional guide. Over the next quarter century, Kain made climbing history and is credited with the first ascents of many nearby peaks, including Bugaboo Spire and Mount Farnham. The Conrad Kain Cairn and Park in the centre of Wilmer is dedicated to his memory, as is a permanent exhibition at Invermere’s Windermere Valley Museum and a cairn on Highway 93, just north of Radium. The community boasts the tranquility of a hamlet with the convenience of Invermere’s stores, restaurants, art galleries, accommodations and entertainment nearby.

The view of the Columbia Valley Wetlands from Wilmer is a sightseer’s delight. The area surrounding Wilmer is home to an unparalleled diversity of wildlife. Nature enthusiasts can while away the hours seeking the hundreds of species found locally, including the bald eagle and the endangered peregrine falcon, American badger and leopard frog. Nearby Lake Enid is a popular day use area with a dock, campsites, and a pretty trail that loops around the lake, ideal for hiking or mountain biking. Located five kilometres west of Wilmer, this small but picturesque lake also offers ice skating and cross country skiing in the winter months. Wilmer’s proximity to the wilderness and backcountry makes it the perfect starting point for any number of adventures. Whether it’s climbing, hiking, snowmobiling, boating, fishing, bird and nature watching, or taking in the wealth of activities at Panorama Mountain Village just 18 kilometres up the road, Wilmer is a spot not to be missed during your stay.

The annual Windermere Fall Fair & Scarecrow Festival, a day-long celebration with live music, vendors, fun activities and more, takes place each September.

he serene lakeside community of Windermere sits on the on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere.

Rich in heritage, arts and outdoor recreation, this scenic neighbourhood is named after the original Lake Windermere, England’s largest natural lake. Located eight kilometres south of Invermere on Highway 93/95, Windermere enjoys great access to a wide range of activities. The beach in Windermere is perfect in the summer heat, with its pleasant green spaces, picnic tables, washroom, playground and swimming area. Easy lake access makes this a great spot for fishing, water-skiing, windsurfing, walking, swimming and sailing. Nearby Mt Swansea is a popular hiking and biking destination year-round, and with Windermere Valley Golf Course just across the highway, Windermere is also a popular vacation spot for golfers. During the winter there is excellent downhill skiing at nearby Panorama Mountain Vilage and the Fairmont Hot Springs Ski Area, as well as easy access to the Whiteway, the 17-kilometre groomed ice skating and cross-country ski track that connects Windermere to the other communities around the lake.

Village facilities include a community hall, dining establishments, a pub, elementary school, grocery store, highway gas stations, bowling alley, locally grown produce sellers and an amusement park. A trip to the Windermere Art Corner uncovers valley-made wood carvings, paintings, furniture and more. Those looking for a place to rest their head will find a selection of bed-and-breakfasts, motels and campgrounds. With its new home subdivisions and renovation properties, this growing community is increasingly popular with seasonal home owners. The first commercial buildings constructed in the valley were built in Windermere as early as 1883, with a number surviving to this day including the Whitehouse Hotel and the old RCMP barracks. Many of Windermere’s other original buildings have been converted into beautiful homes. If you love a good story, stop by the pretty St. Peter’s Church — also known as The Stolen Church. The building was taken from the town of Donald, near Golden, by Rufus Kimpton for his wife Celina. Dismantled and transported to the valley via rail, wagon and riverboat, the church was reassembled in Windermere in 1900.

Camping sites at Lakeshore Resort and Campground From its 14 kilometres of pristine shoreline along Lake Windermere and the Columbia River in the west, to the base of the Rocky Mountains in the east, the Akisqnuk First Nation is spectacular. Bordering the communities of Windermere to the north and Fairmont Hot Springs to the south, the Akisqnuk First Nation enjoys excellent working relationships with its regional partners in both business and government. A short drive from airports in Calgary and Cranbrook, the Akisqnuk First Nation is ideally suited in the heart of the Columbia Valley.

The Opportunity

A regional water powerhouse, it controls two large water systems, including the stateof the art Central Area Water System completed in 2010.

In 2011, a land designation vote was held and a large area of land at the corner of Highway 93/95 and the Windermere Loop Road was successfully designated for development. In the near future this area will become home to the Columbia Valley’s newest highway front commercial development area. The First Nation is home to the successful Indian Beach Estates subdivision, which is adjacent to Windermere and forms a neighbourhood in that community. Indian Beach Estates offers its leaseholders a federal government-guaranteed stable and secure long-term land leasing partnership. Other businesses on Akisqnuk First Nation land include the successful Lakeshore Resort and Campground, the Montessori curriculum-based Little Badger Early Learning Program, billboard leasing opportunities along Highway 93/95, a hunting guide territory and outfitting business, a forest company and a sustainable housing construction program in development.

The nation is host to ever-broadening business and development opportunities.

Lakeshore Resort Campground

Little Badger is a quality early learning program with a strong emphasis on kindergarten readiness, community, our Columbia Valley surroundings, and family. It is a gentle place where respect for oneself, respect for others, and a respect for the environment are fostered.

The only Columbia Valley campground located along the pristine shores of Lake Windermere, the Lakeshore Resort and Campground offers an idyllic setting to get away and just relax, or to serve as the perfect jumping-off point to enjoy all that the Columbia Valley has to offer. With 70 overnight camping spots (for RVers all the way to tenters) as well as seasonal leasing opportunities, the Lakeshore Resort Campground has spots for every type of camper. The campground offers a private boat launch, swimming and picnicking day use, and stunning views of Lake Windermere. In 2012, a beautiful new arbour was completed. The arbour allows Lakeshore Resort and Campground to host large public and private events, from weddings to community gatherings, in a covered environment.

Four distinct programs are offered at the Little Badger Early Learning Program: the Baby Badger Early Learning Program for children aged 18 months to three years; the Little Badger Early Learning Program for youngsters aged three to six; a Badger Den Child Care Program for children 30 months to six years old; and Aboriginal Head Start specifically for Akisqnuk First Nation children, newborn to age six. Both the Baby Badger and Little Badger Early Learning Programs are Montessori curriculum-based while the Badger Den Program is a play-based child care program.

Construction of the arbour was a partnership with between Akisqnuk First Nation, Home Renovation Centre, Service Canada, Ktunaxa Nation Council Society, and College of the Rockies. The Legacy Project employed youth from the First Nation, giving them pride in learning, hands-on construction skills, and imparting a legacy of places for our Nation.

The Little Badger Early Learning program is delivered by the board of the Eva Joseph Learning and Education Society and by professional early childhood educators.

The crystal clear mineral hot springs at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort are a legendary attraction.

Fairmont

Hot Springs

eautiful Fairmont Hot Springs is on the banks of the winding Columbia River, 20 minutes south of Invermere and moments from peaceful Columbia Lake. Fairmont is home to the world-renowned Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, and a community of seasonal and year-round residents who delight in its pleasant surroundings and friendly resort atmosphere. The mineral hot pools that first drew settlers to Fairmont can be enjoyed at one of Canada’s largest hot springs complexes, with nearly 1,000 square metres of odourless pools. Those enjoying the soothing 35 to 45 degree Celsius waters have a marvellous view of snow-capped peaks as the backdrop. In 2012, the community was put to the test by a large debris flow from Fairmont Creek, but unquestionably came out better than ever. A new and improved RV park entrance

and pedestrian footbridge, and changes to the Mountainside Golf Course by acclaimed architect Doug Carrick are just a few more reasons why Fairmont is one of the must-visit places in the valley. It was 1887 when George Geary homesteaded the land around the natural springs now known as Fairmont Hot Springs. But it wasn’t until the early 1900s that the springs’ tourism potential was recognized by William Heap Holland, an eccentric English cotton millionaire. The inventive entrepreneur drafted the valley’s first promotional brochure, which helped to draw scores of British tourists to the area. Starting in 1912, Geary harnessed the springs, built a swimming pool, erected a ranch barn, started a restaurant, opened a campground and built bungalows. A putting green and tennis, badminton and tetherball courts soon followed. After passing through

Canal Flats C

anal Flats is the peaceful community located at the southern end of Columbia Lake, the source of the mighty Columbia River, which flows its way through British Columbia, Washington and Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean.

That history is preserved in the remains of a canal built in 1889 to connect Kootenay River to Columbia Lake. It was created by entrepreneur William Adolph Baillie-Grohman to try and lower the level of nearby Kootenay Lake and reclaim the 48,000 acres of sedimentrich soil left behind. The secondary purpose was to open a north-south passageway for canal steamboats to journey from Montana to Golden. But the risk of flooding the Columbia River curtailed Baillie-Grohman’s efforts. He had no choice but to install a lock system, defeating his dream of diverting water from Kootenay Lake. Only two ships ever passed through: the vessel Gwendoline in 1895 and the North Star in 1902.

Halfway between Invermere and Cranbrook with the Kootenay River to the south, Canal Flats takes its name from the flat strip of land that it sits upon, which is intersected by a historic canal. The surrounding area is part of the Rocky Mountain Trench and the gateway to several stunning provincial parks, including Whiteswan, Thunder Hill and Top of the World, which has a beautiful valley vista.

post office changed its name to Canal Flats to reflect the village’s history.

Supported mainly by the lumber industry, Canal Flats has expanded since its incorporation in 2004, offering affordable living in a friendly small-town atmosphere. The village is increasingly attractive to families and seasonal home owners, with the convenience of the Canadian Rockies International Airport just an hour’s drive away. The scenery is spectacular, with plenty to do in each season, from golfing or boating in the summer to snowmobiling or skiing in the winter. Due to its proximity to the backcountry, the area is also a popular hunting and quading destination. The range of trails winding through the nearby landscape offer hours of exploration. All visitors are encouraged to stroll along the accessible Source of the Columbia Greenway interpretive trail, which begins minutes from the village centre. The village was first known as McGillivray’s Portage, named by explorer and mapmaker David Thompson when he passed through the region in 1808. It was 1913 when the

The Village of Canal Flats has a range of local amenities, including a public beach and boat launch, a hockey arena, a community hall, a golf course, a local pub, two gas stations, the Canal Flats Family Pantry, the Fire Valley Restaurant, the new Wilderness Club Rifle Range, and the newly constructed Discovery Centre, which houses the Village Municipal Office and Council Chambers, the Ktunaxa Interpretive Centre, and the Headwaters Art Society. If you’re seeking a place to stay, Kootenay River RV Resort and Campground offers RV sites and camping on 23 acres of land on the banks of Kootenay River.

The peaceful communities of Spillimacheen, Brisco and Edgewater can be explored along the way. Turn west on Brisco Road just south of Brisco to take in the majesty of Bugaboo Glacier Provincial Park. You’ll need four-wheeldrive for this adventure. The Bugaboos are beautiful and rich in history, but they’re also rugged. The terrain is best suited to experienced mountaineers and skiers. When you arrive at the valley’s centre, take the time to soothe your bones at Radium Hot Springs (1.5 hours south of Golden and 20 minutes north of Invermere), which has the largest naturally occurring hot pools in Canada. If exploration is your thing, you’ll love the easy access along Highway 93 into Kootenay National Park, which leads into Alberta's Banff National Park and is also the access to Nipika Mountain Resort.

Also popular on the lake is windsurfing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, tubing and sea-dooing — with boat and equipment rentals available in Invermere. On the 20-minute drive up to Panorama Mountain Village (take the Panorama Drive turning just after Athalmer Bridge), the pretty and historic village of Wilmer, a few minutes outside of Invermere is a delightful sightseeing spot. And no matter what time of year, Panorama is the perfect destination for a day in the mountains. Whether you are skiing, mountain biking, hiking, golfing or simply enjoying a delicious meal in one of the resort's excellent dining establishments, a day trip to the resort is not to be missed. Back in the valley below, Lake Windermere connects Invermere to the charm-filled community of Windermere (a few minutes south on Highway 93/95 from Invermere), home of

the famed Stolen Church as well as another popular public beach and park area. On the eastern side of the highway is the Akisqnuk First Nation community, one of two local Aboriginal bands. Akisqnuk’s Chisel Peak Outfitting company can take you on historical and cultural tours of traditional hunting grounds used by the First Nations for thousands of years. Further south, you simply must pay a visit to the legendary Fairmont Hot Springs (20 minutes from Invermere). This friendly resort town has maintained hot pools with gorgeous mountain vistas to enjoy while you soak. Continuing south along Highway 93/95, you’ll quickly spot beautiful Columbia Lake, which stretches all the way down to Canal Flats, the small village 30 minutes south of Fairmont. Here you’ll find the trailhead of the Source of the Columbia Greenway, the 1.5 kilometre interpretive trail at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River. The Canal Flats public beach in Tilley Memorial Park is a favourite among residents, with its boat launch, washroom facilities and swimming area. South of Canal Flats you’ll reach three stunning provincial parks, Top of the World, Whiteswan and Premier Lake, with public beaches and campsites. The all-natural Lussier Hot Springs are also well worth a stop, but be prepared for crowds on long weekends. Continuing on to Cranbrook, stop in at pretty Wasa Lake and Fort Steele Heritage Town, a must-see for history buffs with its wagon and steam train rides. Cranbrook, two hours south of Invermere, is the biggest city in southeastern British Columbia, with all the amenities you’ll want, but if you’ve got time for just one stop, make it the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the best museum of its kind in Canada. To round off your trip, take Highway 95A west from Cranbrook to see the characterful city of Kimberley, which is rich in history, public events and year-round activities. Kimberley Visitor Centre will give you all the information you need to maximize your time there.

Summer Trails ATV & Quad Biking The Columbia Valley has miles of forest service roads and old logging roads that are perfect for All Terrain Vehicles. The Steamboat Mountain trail near Brisco is a technical ride on forestry roads. In a wilderness setting west of Radium you’ll find Frances Creek/Lead Queen Mine, with plenty of challenging terrain. The Paradise Mine road, 18 kilometres southwest of Invermere just off Toby Creek Road, is a popular scenic trip for off-roaders keen to explore the remnants of an early 1900s silver mine. Anyone riding in the area needs a valid licence and third-party liability insurance.

By Foot

Mountain Biking The valley is a mountain biker’s paradise with trail networks through some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. In the northern tip, the Moonraker cross country rails near Golden are extremely popular, as is the Johnson Trail near Invermere. In Fairmont Hot Springs check out the 15-plus kilometres of trails including the Waterfall Trail. Further south, two cross country networks can be found near Cranbrook, at the South Star Recreation Trails and the Community Forest. For downhillers, Golden’s Mount 7 trails and Mount Swansea near Invermere feature trails with steep descents and lift-accessed trails can be found at Kicking Horse Resort, Panorama Mountain Village and Kimberley Alpine Resort.

Horseback Riding Horseback travel has been a traditional means of access and transportation in the Rockies for more than a century. From novice to expert rider, you’ll be able to mount your steed and set off to enjoy some of the stunning backcountry trails from Golden to Cranbrook. Rides range from scenic one-hour trips to multi-day camping excursions for experienced riders.

Spectacular scenery can by accessed via endless trails winding through the valley’s landscape, which range from short strolls to strenuous multi-day treks. A short, easy hike to the top of the Dutch Creek Hoodoos, just south of Fairmont Hot Springs, provides magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains, Columbia Lake and fast-flowing Dutch Creek at the foot of the cliff. Interpretive trails can be found in Kootenay National Park, such as the history-rich Paint Pots Trail (86 kilometres north of Radium), which is wheelchair accessible. Those seeking a challenge should try the Pedley Pass Trail near Windermere (3 hour round trip), or the Lower Bugaboo Falls in Bugaboo Provincial Park (1 hour round trip).

For a more strenuous day trip, the Lake of the Hanging Glacier offers stunning landscape as does the Jumbo Pass Trail. For overnight trips, the Rockwall Trail in Kootenay National Park is one of the most beautiful multi-day backcountry hikes in the Canadian Rockies.

Cross-Country Skiing

Snowmobiling

This popular pastime is a great way to see the fantastic Columbia Valley countryside on your own steam. Up near Edgewater is the Baptiste Lake Trail System, offering 16 kilometres of gently rolling trails. The Greywolf Nordic Centre at Panorama has more than 20 kilometres of trails with a warming hut. Be sure to visit the Invermere Whiteway on Lake Windermere, a 17-kilometre groomed loop with tracks for both classic and skate skiing. Dawn Mountain Nordic trails in Golden and the Kimberley Nordic network are also well worth a visit, as is Nipika Mountain Resort, accessible via Kootenay National Park.

With its moderate to extreme mountain terrain, light dry snow and eye-popping scenery, the Columbia Valley is a mecca for snowmobilers at every level. Golden has some of the best trails in Canada. Mid-valley options include Rocky Point Creek near Brisco, the Forster Creek route near Radium Hot Springs, the Brewer Creek trail near Invermere and the Doctor Creek route near Canal Flats. In Cranbrook, check out the Lumberton and Cliff Lake areas among many others. Drop by the nearest Visitor Centre for a map of all the local trails, avalanche risk areas and off-limit zones.

Dog Sledding In Golden, Panorama and Kimberley you can settle into your sled as a team of dogs take you gliding silently over hill and dale. Racing along trails through the trees with your very own dog sled team is not only fun, it’s ecofriendly too.

Ski Touring The beautiful valley backcountry is aweinspiring with its frosted peaks, deep powder snow and peaceful solitude. In the area near Golden there are more than 20 backcountry lodges to choose from. In the central valley, the Columbia Valley Hut Society maintains five backcountry cabins. Towards the valley’s southern end there are backcountry cabins less than an hour west of Canal Flats and a single hut to the northwest of Kimberley.

Snowshoeing Ski resorts make good starting point for snowshoers with Panorama Mountain Village, Kicking Horse Mountain Village and Kimberley Alpine Resort offering guided treks for all ability levels. The ski hill at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort is another good option. Other good trips are the Johnson Trails near Lake Lillian, the Greenways Trail system at Dry Gulch, the Bird Sanctuary just north of Wilmer, and the marked trails in Kootenay National Park.

Kootenay National Park

The Vermillion River Crossing in Kootenay National Park.

rks Canada

Kootenay is steeped in rich natural and cultural history. For thousands of years, the area was part of the traditional lands of the Ktunaxa and Shuswap First Nations. Archaeological evidence suggests that the park’s mountain passes and river valleys were used as trading routes, travel corridors and seasonal hunting grounds for thousands of years. In the north end of the park, the Paint Pots (a trio of ochre mud beds) were important for ceremonial use, trade and industry by both First Nations and European peoples.

Established in 1920, Kootenay’s long, narrow profile is the result of an agreement between the federal government and the Province of British Columbia to construct the Banff-Windermere Highway – a motorway connecting the Columbia Valley to Calgary – in return for a 16-kilometre wide strip of land for a national park. Travelling the newly completed highway was a day-long experience in a Ford Model T. Despite the steep grades and bumpy terrain, early publications praised the highway calling it an “excellent road for drivers” as “fear was practically eliminated”. Today, the full length of the Banff-Windermere Highway can be driven in less

tep into a world of incredible contrasts. From glacial peaks along the Continental Divide to the semi-arid grasslands of the Rocky Mountain Trench, Kootenay National Park protects 1406 square kilometres of spectacular Rocky Mountain landscape. Gaze at mountain peaks and hanging glaciers, stroll alongside turquoise blue lakes, picnic next to rushing rivers and admire colourful mineral pools. This unspoiled national treasure is home to diverse wildlife including bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer, elk, moose, black and grizzly bears, which are often seen grazing beside the highway or on avalanche paths.

than two hours. Along the highway there are scenic viewpoints, four campgrounds, numerous day use areas and 200 kilometres of hiking trails to explore. A notable feature as you drive through the park is the fireaffected areas in the northern end. During the hot, dry summer of July 2003, lightning started multiple fires, eventually burning over 12 per cent of Kootenay National Park. The breathtaking beauty of these fire-affected landscapes is most visible during the summer months when brilliant pink fireweed grows amongst fire-charred trees in areas around the Great Divide and Stanley Glacier, Floe Lake and Marble Canyon trails.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Kootenay to their heart’s content. The park’s hiking trails lead to spectacular wilderness treasures such as Floe Lake and the well-named Rockwall trail, and easy to access gems like Olive Lake, the Paint Pots and Marble Canyon. The sparkling lakes and rivers nestled in the Kootenay and Vermilion river valleys are fantastic for anglers and birdwatchers. A National Park Fishing Permit is required to fish in all national parks and can be purchased at the park gate or Visitor Centre. During the summer months, daily interpretive programs provide visitors with the opportunity to learn more about Kootenay’s natural and cultural history from a Parks Canada interpreter.

Radium Resort boasts two great spots to play: the Springs Golf Course, which is consistently ranked in the country’s top 100 and is co-hosting the 2013 BC Amateur Championship; and Radium Resort Course, which introduced three new holes in 2012.

The Columbia Valley also hosts a number of annual charity golf tournaments, the most recent addition being the Kelly Hrudey and Friends Charity Golf Classic at Copper Point Golf Club in August, which features celebrity players. At the end of a day on the links, nothing goes down better than great food, and some of the best restaurants in the valley are associated with the great golf courses. You needn’t be a player to dine, but a delicious meal is a great way to celebrate a satisfying round.

No golfer’s visit would be complete without a trip to play the three varied courses at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort: Mountainside, Creekside and Riverside. And just a little farther south, the cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley offer no less than five prominent courses with stunning backdrops, perfect for a true mountain golf experience.

Club restaurants offer everything from a sandwich on the run, to fine cuisine prepared by world-class chefs. Some have private banquet facilities perfect for any large gathering.

With mini-golf courses available in Golden, Radium, Windermere, Fairmont Hot Springs, Cranbrook and Kimberley, you don’t have to be an experienced golfer to pick up the putter during your stay. Funtasia Fun Park in Fairmont features an 18-hole course winding through a natural forest setting, along with a petting zoo full of miniature animals, the ever-popular popular spin n’ bump cars and lush, green gardens.

Wherever you play in the valley, just be sure to have your camera on hand. The scenery is so spectacular it’s sometimes hard to keep your eye on the ball. Almost every one of the well-designed, high quality courses is nestled against the foot of the Rockies or Purcells, close to the beauty and wilderness of nature. Pack up your clubs and enjoy a game!

Suitable for any level, this quiet and scenic course is also an excellent place for any handicap golfer to practise their short game. Lunch on the deck is a treat and delicious homemade pies are their specialty. We are pleased to announce that we will be opening our campground in early summer 2013.

Mountainside at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort - 250-345-6514 In 2012 the classic, tree-lined layout at Mountainside — for decades, one of the most popular courses in the region — went under the knife and, unquestionably, came out better than ever. Thanks to acclaimed architect Doug Carrick, the changes solidify Mountainside as one of the must-play tracks in the Kootenay Rockies; and, speaking of ‘musts’, a post-round soak in the mountainsurrounded hot springs is the perfect way to cap off your experience at Mountainside.

Staying & Living in the valley ACCOMMODATIONS

New Home Sites

With so much to see and do in the Columbia Valley, you’ll find it near-impossible to stay for just one day. Fortunately our range of welcoming accommodations can meet your every need.

There is a terrific selection of building lots available, from cottage lots nestled among the trees, to estate lots with sweeping vistas of lakes and mountains. A range of budgets can be catered to, from small, modestlypriced properties, to vast acreages.

The Columbia Valley Map Book is your number one guide to valley accommodations. These pages contain detailed descriptions of the finest choices available, including street, email and website addresses, telephone and fax numbers, a list of features, seasonal information and, in some cases, a list of nearby visitor attractions. Whether you are seeking something rustic, a cozy nook or the lap of luxury, you can find it here. From luxurious resort suites to privately owned and fully stocked alpine chalets to reasonably priced inns and hotels, there are over 3,000 sites and rooms to choose from. Be sure to call ahead for reservations. Summer is our busiest season, but the valley is increasingly busy all year round as more people discover this four-season paradise.

Custom Homes If you’ve got a dream home in mind, the valley’s fantastic custom builders can help make it a reality. They will work with you from start to finish to ensure that you get the exact home you want, in the perfect location to suit your needs.

Condominiums The valley has a great selection of new and resale apartment condos, townhomes and detached single-family homes in developments with key services and modest condo fees. If you purchase a new condo early enough you have the option to customize your fixtures and fittings, choose your own colours and request upgrades.

Resale Homes & Land The valley has plenty of older homes just waiting for fresh ideas. Many of these gems have choice views and are close to shops, restaurants and recreation, offering an established community location with no condo fees. All the goods, services and skilled labour you need to renovate can be found locally.

Upscale Resorts If you want a no-fuss, lock-and-leave lifestyle, the valley’s resort communities are ideal. They offer luxurious suites, sometimes fully stocked and furnished, and plenty of amenities: spas, golf courses, ski hills, fine restaurants, fitness and business facilities and more. Whole or fractional ownership of suites are available. Condo fees vary according to luxury level.

How to find your dream property Local realtors are great sources of information. They know the market and can help you find a property faster than you might by yourself. For up-to-the-minute information try the Columbia Valley Pioneer (www.columbiavalleypioneer.com), or the annual Columbia Valley Homes Magazine (www.columbiavalleyhomes.com). Local Chambers of Commerce and Visitor Centres are also helpful.

2013 Columbia Valley Map Book

Featured artist Katerina Mertikas

he painting that graces the cover of this year’s Mapbook evokes the wonder and pure joy of children playing. The original painting, “What a Beautiful Morning” by Katerina Mertikas, was created to celebrate the innocence and fun of childhood: exploring a new bike path, whiling away the hours on a swing, forming friendships with the neighborhood kids. This piece was inspired by views of Lakeview Meadows with Lake Windermere and the Purcell Mountain Range in the background. Although Katerina resides in Ontario, she has treasured memories of visits to the mountains in Western Canada when she was younger. “I absolutely love the western landscape…I think anyone living in western Canada has the best of all worlds: lots of beauty to look at, be it mountains, hills or water, and better weather than us here in Ottawa!” She has been showing her work with the Artym Gallery in Invermere for many years. Many of her pieces have found homes in and around the Columbia Valley. Katerina was thrilled to be chosen for the cover of the 2013 Columbia Valley MapBook. “This particular painting has everything that I personally like about spring and summer,” she said. “Colour, life, water and mountains… and nothing fills my heart with happiness more than watching children playing outdoors; the sounds of laughter, talking and playing is just music to my ears.” When Katerina began to paint, she found endless inspiration in her two daughters. Now over 20 years later, she relies on the presence of her four grandchildren to continue this tradition. Perhaps because she spends so much time painting children, Katerina has involved

herself heavily in fundraising and charities that specifically benefit children. This year’s Mapbook cover is the latest in a long list of causes that she supports with her work, including Unicef, the Canadian Lung Association and Juvenile Diabetes Association, the Alberta Children’s hospital and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. “What a Beautiful Morning” celebrates playful exuberance on a warm, sunny day in the beautiful Columbia Valley. Expressing a world rife with possibilities, dreams, joy and colour, Katerina reminds us of our children, our grandchildren, and especially our own childhood. “I hope many more Canadians see my art for all it offers and feel some of the joy and I am trying to send out through each brushstroke,” she said. - Contributed by Deanna Berrington

2013 Columbia Valley Map Book

The Map Book

Cover Project “T his year, for the first time, we have chosen art that depicts children for the cover of the 2013 Columbia Valley Map Book,” says publisher Rose-Marie Regitnig. “The cover brightly illustrates living in the Columbia Valley, whether it be as residents or as visitors. To me it exudes happiness, fun and togetherness in our communities, with the surrounding mountain ranges and Lake Windermere in the background.” “What a Beautiful Morning” by Katerina Mertikas, which graces the front of the 2013 Map Book, is a perfect match for the children-friendly cause it is helping fund. As in previous years, the Map Book has teamed up with the Artym Gallery in Invermere to fundraise for a deserving local project by selling reproductions of its unique and beautiful cover art. This year, money raised through the sale of these beautiful giclées (high quality prints) will aid the efforts of the Rotary Club of Invermere to build a children’s splash park at Kinsmen Beach. “The splash park will be a great addition to the community — children, both local and visiting, will be able to play together and create fond memories of the valley. This is what the painting on the cover is all about,” says Connie Artym-Bradatsch, co-owner of the Artym Gallery with her husband Grey Bradatsch. The splash park was originally conceived in the fall of 2011 after the improvement of Invermere’s beach areas was identified as a priority in 2010. The Rotary Club, which is spearheading the project with the assistance of the District of Invermere, is fundraising for an approximate budget of $300,000 and hopes to see the splash park open the spring of 2014. Monies raised will be used for the engineering of the project, acquisition of the splash park

components, installation and commissioning. Upon completion, the splash park will be maintained by the District of Invermere to provide free, fun, family entertainment at Kinsmen Beach for locals and visitors alike. “The Rotary Club is thankful for this generous support for what we believe is a very worthwhile community project,” said Rotary member Kerri-Anne Thomas. “We believe that a splash park at Kinsmen Beach will be a sustainable community asset that will provide good family entertainment and will attract families to our valley.” Similar to last year, proceeds from the sales the giclées will also serve an educational purpose by funding two bursaries for deserving students graduating from the Columbia Valley’s high school, David Thompson Secondary School, and going on to post-secondary education in the fields of media, journalism, graphic design or communications. “This is the first time that proceeds from the cover project have gone to the same cause twice. Post secondary education is such an important pursuit, and can’t help but benefit the community as a whole,” says Artym Gallery co-owner Grey Bradatsch. Ryan Bavin Photography has produced 100 giclées priced at $280 each. The reproductions, which measure 20”x16”, are printed on paper, dry-mounted, varnished and framed. To view the painting online, visit www.ArtymGallery. com. To purchase a giclée of “What a Beautiful Morning”, drop by the Artym Gallery at 934 – 7th Avenue in downtown Invermere, or call 250-342-7566.
